Flexibility by Design
Discovery changes direction. A laboratory that cannot follow it becomes a constraint on the science it was built to serve.
Why it matters
Designing for the programme after this one
Most laboratories outlive the research programme they were designed for. A facility planned only around today’s protocols will be rebuilt within a few years, at a cost far greater than designing adaptability in at the start. This principle shapes every laboratory design we deliver.
- Modular lab tables
- Standardised lab modules suitable for any science
- Flexible and quick connecting services
- Planned service droppers and spines
- Future capacity planning for mechanical services
- Planning expandable building structure for future requirements
